The London Olympic Committee will be providing athletes at this year’s Summer Games with 150,000 condoms. Chances are not one of those condoms will be used by American sprinter Lolo Jones. And it isn’t because she doesn’t practice safe sex. In fact, Lolo happens to practice the safest form of sex: celibacy.

During a recent interview on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Jones admitted that remaining a virgin at the age of 29 has been more difficult than “training for the Olympics” or “graduating from college,” and we can see why. Not only is she human, but Lolo is also attractive, smart, funny, and as she pointed out during the interview, she has been tempted on several occasions and has “had plenty of opportunities.” However, she has remained strong in her quest to avoid sex until marriage. According to Lolo, her virginity is a gift she wants to give to her husband, and one look at her athletic body will surely having you agreeing that it would be quite the gift for any man who is willing to wait it out. But as she points out, few men are willing to make that sacrifice.

Jones will look to redeem herself at the 2012 London Games following her disappointing seventh-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at the Beijing Games in 2008. I’m going to bet that she gets her redemption. After all, any human that is strong enough to resist the temptation of sex for 29 years is surely strong enough to win themselves an Olympic medal.

Here is a look at Lolo’s interview on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
